I find this abuse of our hospitality disturbing. They will learn to respect out station and the lives aboard it, which include their own. We must set an example to ensure that such idiocy is not tolerated.

What in tarnashin's is going on over there?! Don't 'dem boyz know Yanagi station ez good? Not only do they serve some fine drinkz there, but it serves a good place to rest ya'll headz when ya'll eye ballz be spinning around after flying in circles all day!
If 'dem boyz refuse to listen, then the congress may just have to vote on rezolution Order 66.
I'm just warning yah. I'd be best if everybody just got along like two possums hanging from a tree.. We rather trade goods and drink with you boyz than exchange laser shots; it sure takes a lot of scrap metal for us junkers to repair one of 'dem collector ships we cherish so much. Sniff.

Captain Blond,
Sorry about your unfortunate incident. The pilot involved has been "counseled" and is feeling quite remorseful. He is also willing to pay for you cargo in full. Please contact him in space or reach him on this network as AceRimmer, and let me know if he fails to make amends for his rash judgment. We do have a way of dealing with that.

Arbiter Crow,
luckily we were close enough to Beaumont so my pod got tractored in without any difficulty, me and my crew are fine - apart from the temporary adrenalin over boost. Of course we had to go through some medicals I've been just released. Came to the office to file a report against him, but I'm more than happy to see your effectiveness!
I'm going to contact him immediately so that we can close this unfortunate affair as soon as possible.

Junkers,
Reunion has come at last and we can return to bases once again that many of you have never even seen. This is where we came from. Although it is our home, I encourage all of you to tread lightly. Please be polite and diplomatic to the Gallic factions in control. Stop when you are asked to and comply with their requests. This is new to everyone so we must proceed with caution.
Greetings. I am writting this message for I have witnessed today something that has left me with some concern. I was in Puerto Rico, bringing a load of Scrap Metal to Culebra Smelter when a contact appeared on my radar. That contact was =CR=Varsovia, an IMG pilot flying an IMG transport. After a short conversation, what it seemed is that he didnt have permission to be in Puerto Rico. The log of the conversation will be annexed in the end of this message.
This has left me quite concerned, knowing that most people dont feel the need to give the Junkers any satisfaction and that they are entering out great home system of Puerto Rico. Today , it was a transport , tomorow it might be a battleship right at our doors.
I , beeing a simple junker , do not know what course of action should be taken , so i will leave such decision to higher ranking entities.
This is deeply concerning.
We have thus far never granted permission for any non-junkers to pass through our guard system.
If people are coming of the impression that they may pass freely through our guard system without fear of reprisals, I shall re-locate my Junker Guard Recycler to Arecibo.
=CR= most certainly have never applied for, nor been granted, permission to pass through or trade in Puerto Rico.
As far as our guard system goes, I take a very simple view;
Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.
Salvager Out.

You are correct that our guard system must be respected. Feel free to move whatever ships you need there for the purpose of defense. Your effort to defend the system is greatly appreciated. In the future can you continue make some kind of recording of the event. Provide us with some kind of evidence we can use to show this disrespect to our system. Especially with a group like the CR. With them we can make a formal complaint to their leadership but it will help to have the pictures. The image provided here will be helpful, it not only show that the CR are trespassing, but that they have shown a complete lack of respect in this act.
